I found my fix to the original problem using this:

<?
if (is_home() && strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], "/page/") === false) {
?>

think I found my fix with this:

.page-id-xxx {min-width:960px}
.home {min-width:425px}

No, it isn’t.

That was just what I was looking for was someone to confirm the validity of the regexp. Good to know thanks!

Also, yes, I just didn’t include the whole code snippet. I did place it in between the <ifModule> tags after RewriteBase /.

Thanks for the additional information and for answering my question as (.+)$ means. Although not sure I fully understand. I know when I was testing if I added that to the end of the current line I’m using, it would seemingly work in the same way.

Thanks again for your help and quick responses, you have been extremely helpful!

btw, I have no idea what (.+)$ means

Thanks so much for the response. Doing some more searching on it I was able to find someone with a very similar problem here: https://wpquestions.com/question/showChrono/id/8468

The recommended fix was to add:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !page

RewriteRule ^[0-9]{4}\/+[0-9]{2}\/+(.+)$ /blog/$1 [L,R=301]

So i took that and basically replaced it with the previous code I was using. (ended up being different slightly than yours fyi, but yours works the same way interchangeably):

Original code:

RedirectMatch 301 ^/[0-9]{4}/[0-9]{2}/([a-z0-9\-/]{4,}) https://www.sweetfreestuff.com/$1

New code (seems to fix archives problem):

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !page

RewriteRule ^[0-9]{4}\/+[0-9]{2}\/([a-z0-9\-/]{4,}) https://www.MYSITE.com/$1  [L,R=301]

Now my question for you, sir, is how does the code look and how does it look compared to the example fix from that page? Did I transpose everything correcty? Am I missing any characters or commands? Although it seems everything is working fine now, Just would like to doublecheck with someone who actually know what they are doing to see if you think this code holds water.

Thanks you very, very much for your help again.

I actually noticed a few other problems that still exist pertaining to the archives again. Here is what’s going on:

On a single day or a single month page, clicking the next page feature to get to page 2 breaks. Examples:

Page 2 on monthly archives: (ie: Jun >> June page 2)
https://www.mysite.com/2013/07/page/2/ redirects>>>>>>>>> https://www.mysite.com/page/2/

Page 2 on a single day of archives:
https://www.mysite.com/2013/08/21/page/2/ redirects>>>>>>> https://www.mysite.com/21/page/2/ 404 not found

Is this something you can help me with? Let me know if you need to to outline the problem better. Thanks.

solved thanks.

Yes that works! Thank you so much for your help!

It would be in the index.php between

<div id="primary" class="content-area">

<div id="content" class="site-content" role="main">

OR anywhere just outside on either top or bottom of this code.

I just tested it on a fresh wordpress install with all plugins deactivated and it still persists.

I feel as if my approach may be off as this isn’t working in twenty twelve either. It has worked in the past on many themes for me however and this fix is found all over the internet.

Zulfikar-

I found that snippet when I was searching. I tried it and it doesn’t work any differently.
